It is interesting that many believe that there could be multiple sources that stimulate a dream. If this belief is held by some, why use one source to interpret dreams? A dream dictionary has a collection of common themes found in dreams and their definitions. These definitions are formulated after reviewing thousands of dreams and finding a common interpretation.
I do not use dream books. I have a few dream dictionaries in my book collection, but I can say I skimmed them when first purchased and put them back on my bookshelf. I have no problem with dreams dictionaries; I just feel that a bird in my dream does not have the same meaning as bird in the next persons dream. Dr. Paul Jessen in 1855 published an article in which he stated “The content of dreams is more or less determined by the individual personality, by age, sex, station in life, education, habits, and by events and experiences of the whole past life.” I believe that in order to accurately interpret and understand a dream other factors need to be considered.
The Illustrated Dream Dictionary by Russell Grant is a very colorful overview of the meaning of dream symbols. The book begins with a brief overview of dreams and how it relates to the dreamer. The overview, even though brief, was very informative for those who might be new to the history of dreams. The interpretations of images are helpful for those who would like a quick bedside guide to the meaning of their dreams. For someone who is a beginner when it comes to analyzing dreams, this book will be very helpful, however, for someone is more seriously into dreams, this book might not be comprehensive. Overall, this is a good book, simple and beautifully illustrated.
